Drive 25 miles west of Washington, DC into Loudoun today and you’re entering DC’s Wine Country®. Loudoun now has more than 50 wineries and tasting rooms in stunning settings from river-crossed valleys to mountain slopes. Taking experimental cues from Lew, our acclaimed winemakers produce everything from Albariño, Bordeaux and Chardonnay to Norton, Tannat, Viognier and so much more.

My husband, Brian, and I like supplementing our kids’ classroom time with learning vacations. We discovered a new favorite destination for “studying” after visiting Sevierville, TN.

Finding a hidden gem has always been my favorite part of traveling, and in West Virginia—a state of raw, wild beauty—Huntington may be the most hidden of them all.

Pair any of these four West Virginia experience gifts with a heartfelt card, and you’ve got yourself a match made in (almost) heaven.
